Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
IN A PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF A LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT SULFOXIDE FROM THE CORRESPONDING SULFIDE BY OXIDATION THEREOF, WHICH COMPRISES ADMIXING IN THE VAPOR PHASE THE SULFIDE, SUFFICIENT OXYGEN TO OXIDIZE THE SULFIDE TO THE SULFOXIDE AND AN AMOUNT OF OXYGEN TRANSMITTING NITROGEN OXIDE AT LEAST SUFFICIENT TO CATALYST THE OXIDATION, AND PASSING THE MIXTURE THROUGH A REACTION ZONE TO CARRY OUT THE OXIDATION IN VAPOR PHASE AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE ROOM TEMPERATURES BUT NOT IN EXCESS OF 200*F. THE IMPROVEMENT WHICH COMPRISES EXPOSING THE MIXTURE TO A SURFACE COOLED TO BELOW ROOM TEMPERATURE, WHILE CARRYING OUT THE OXIDATION IN SAID ZONE.
